"THE PRICE OF PEACE."
New
IMay Rrodtiivd in London
Scores a Rig Suece.
London, Friday, Sept. 21 That there
fms no end tt the Inventive powers of
Mr. Arthur Collins and his clever coad
jutors at Drury Line Theater, must havo
been the opinion of the mighty multitude
which assembled at the historic thtater
la-t nlsht to witness Mr Cecil Raleigh's
new drama. "The Price of Peace
That another triumph Ins been achieved
Is duo not so much to the plaj itself,
though till Is sufficiently interesting to
hold the attention of the audience from
bt sinning to end, as to tho manclocs man
ner In which it is staged.
There can be no manner of doubt that
there havo been in the past rnanj wonder
ful stage spectacles seen at Drury Line
Theater ouch as have never been seen nor
attempted at any other theater, but list
night's surely eclipsed all previous at
tempts. There aro some surprisingly lifelike pic
tures, such as the terrace of the Hou;e
of Commons and a sensational d. bate in
tho House itself, terminating with the sud
den death of tre leader of the party in
power while delivering his speech, a carni
val In that favorite roort of sosletv, the
Niagara Skating itlnk. and a startling end
to a society wedding In Westminster Ab
bey. But most wonderful of all Is tho "yacht
scene." There we llnd a rarse -team yacht,
owned by the villain of the plav. caught
in a fog in the English Channel. A big liner
looms up through the fog and crashes Into
the yacht, which sinks and is swallowed
up in the waves In full view of the audi
ence, taking down with it the villain to a
watery grave.
It is a great effort of a'nge realism.
The audience made a tremendous demon
stration of approval at the close of the
drama.
The play has Its weak points, nota
bly, the Inviting of a general secret ser
vice man Into the library of the prime Min
ister's house and the murdering of him by
tho Prime Minister himself, which U sup
posed to bo the price ho pajs for peace
The drama Is what a critic would call "a
play of heart, ' full of human nature and
human Interest.

them drew revolvers and threatened his
life. Dobelmann had no money with him
und told them so. One of the men started
to go through Dobelmann's pockets.
Suddenly some one appeared in the alley
and all three ran. On reaching Cass avenue-,
they were seen by Officer Burke, who
gave chase. They turned Into an alley be

By this time the officer was within twenty-five

drew his revolver and returned the lire. The
men at this time were about twenty yards

emptied.

aroused and hundreds flocked to tbo scene

TWO MEN CLOSE
TO ASPHYXIATION.
Mrs. Mary Gleason Rescues
Charles W. Larrimore anil John
Kane in the Nick of Time.
HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH GAS.
Larrimore Hail Removed the Fix

Caps on the Pipes
Others Affected.
Occupant9 of the boarding-house conduct
ed by Mrs. Mary Gleason at No. 1117 Cass
avenue narrowly escaped asphvxlatlon while
asleep Wednesday night. Two of tbcm,
Charles W. Larrimore and John Kane, were
rescued In the nick of time by the landlady,
who discovered that tho house was tilled
with gas when she awoke at 3 o'clock jes
terday morning.
Larrimore and Kane were unconscious
when they were dragged from their beds to
the open air and It was thought they were
dead. Kane remained unconscious for .an
hour, and Larrimore, viho was taken to the
City Ho-jpital, remained unconscious for
several hours' Late jestcrday afternoon he
he had not fully recovered from the gas In
haled. John Fent. Mrs. Gleason nnd other board
ers were affected by the fumes, but not to
an alarming extent. 31 rs. Gleason was com
pelleil to tako to her bed after she aroused
her boarders, on account of nervo isness.
It seems that Larrimoro was expecting his
wife and two children, now in Indianapolis,
to Join him and reside with him at Mrs.
Gleason's house. Wednesday he took down
tho gas fixtures, which belonged to 3Irs.
Lucy Boach, daughter of Mrs. Gleason, who
moved into the house next door. He neg
lected to put caps on the pipe- because ho
thought the gas had been turned off. 3lrs.
Boach said that she notified the gas com
pany to turn off the gas several days ago
and that she was under the Impression that
tho matter had been attended to.
It was fortunate for Larrimore and Kane
that Mrj. Gleason did not sleep later than
usual yesterday morning. Had she done so,
or had tho gas affected her as It did them,
thej probably would have been suffocated.
Knocking failed to arouso them and It was
necessary to break open tho doors of their
rooms and to drag them out. Both men are
now out of danger.
